Leave your thoughts about Three Kings.
| Film.comSean MeansA biting satire of military myopia and political double-dealing -- possibly the best wartime comedy since Robert Altman's "M*A*S*H." |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenBlackly funny, unafraid to shift emotional gears from farce to horror, peppered with spectacular action. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaCombinando humor e drama com talento, funciona como uma dura crítica à política belicista dos EUA - sendo tão (ou mais) relevante hoje em dia do que quando foi lançado. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestA rare blend of breath-taking action and thoughtful writing, and easily one of the best movies of 1999. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouRumsey TaylorThe film has the glamour of a Hollywood blockbuster (not to mention A-list actors) and the drive of an independent; Three Kings is thus the cumulative marriage of the two. |
| culturevulture.netTom BlockAfter wooing the likes of Hawks, Peckinpah, and Pontecorvo, 'Three Kings' decides in the end to go steady with Ron Howard. |
| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelEach and every character in this movie was memorable from the dingbat reporter to the little Iraqi girl. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenI really have no idea if the premise of the film is historically correct, but I don't think it matters. One thing for sure is that war, in this case, the aftermath of war, is hell and this movie makes a strong case for that truism. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanI was engrossed in the movie from start to finish because it's the kind of picture where you never know what's going to happen next. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanAn extraordinary experience: an original and brilliant combination of comedy, action and sophisticated political comment -- the best American movie of the year thus far. |
